Exactly what I hear. the starter goes (200 amp), then the tick tick tick... not ticktick ticktick. The the 400 amp goes... egts' climb to 600, then drop off to 550 and stay there. the mechanic last year did say the ignitors were on their last leg and should be replaced. We are sourcing them, but have had no luck so far. Should we replace ignitors before start box? Is there anything I can do to start box in terms of checking it works? I know its mechanical, so could lubricate be sprayed on some of the gears or valves? We'd prefer not to have to buy a ton of parts to figure out it was the ignitors. The tail is off our 2nd ship, I may swap the ignitors and see? thanks for the replies. -------- Mike "Skidmk" Bourget Ottawa, Ontario Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=479142#479142 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:21:32 PM PST US Subject: Re: L29-List: Re: Hang Start From: William Geipel The ignitor box controls the start sequence so I dont think it is the box. Ticktick = both ignitors..Tick tick is one plug. Have you changed fuel filters lately? Sometimes if you dont bleed the air out after filter change it wont start. I like the idea of first changing the plugs with the other engine. When you pull the plug see if it is sparking. > On Apr 6, 2018, at 17:07, skidmk wrote: > > > ok. > > we replaced our batteries today, start with EPU same results. > > Exactly what I hear. the starter goes (200 amp), then the tick tick tick... not ticktick ticktick.
